Hi, on a D35 with LSD, is it same way to remove the c-clip as in not with LSD?

Could i replace the LSD clutchplates without doing a full setup?

I believe it's the same as the GM LSD which I've had experience with. You have to pull the planetary cross pin, springs and spreader plates, push the axles in and remove the c-clips. The clutch packs are behind the side gears, which come out easily without removing the carrier assembly. Be careful of the shims behind the planetaries. they are a PITA to get back into place. They have to come out to pull the side gears.

I drag raced a Chevy Positraction and broke a cross pin twice. I finally used L88 Corvette parts.

ok, i will open it up and try that. Spreader plates, is that some plates that is between the large S spring where the cross pin goes through and the side gears?

I've never had a D35 apart, but on the GM axle there are 4 coil springs between steel plates that preload the clutches. These are held in place by the cross pin.
